Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12962 remained
stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as a beta/
C-type sunspot group. The spotted regions on the visible disk have all
been unremarkable in terms of flaring activity since the last message.
A new spotted region currently rotating over the North East limb has
been the source of several C-class events, including the largest flare
of the period - a C2.0 on 8-Mar-2022 at 03:01 UT. These would have all
been foot-point occulted events, so potentially significantly higher
in peak flux if they had occurred on disk. Further C-class activity is
expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.

The approximate position of this region on 8-Mar-2022 at 22:00 UT is:

N24E90 , ( -882", 390" )
